757 - Don't brag
While receiving the order, Peach Leopard was still a little worried about Luoyang.
In case all the first army rushed to Qian County, what if Quan Yao boldly attacked Luoyang?
When the time comes, won't the army still have to retreat?
As soon as he finished asking, he saw Shi Hu looking at him directly, and this time, Peach Leopard couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart: "What, what's wrong, the little general?" โ
"Luoyang, you come to guard, if there is anything wrong in Luoyang, it will be me, uncle, you know better than me how to explain."
When the words landed, Peach Leopard's face was extremely miserable.
But Shi Hu didn't give Tao Bao time to explain at all, and immediately ordered the army to withdraw from Yingchuan, and the troops were divided into two routes, each leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Qiaojun and stay in Luoyang.
When they retreated, Quan Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was able to get to the position of general under Yao Yu, all because of his brother Quan Yan's ability and his own qualifications.
Quan Yao is suitable for the deputy general to charge, and you let him lead the side, which is really a bit overestimating him.
Shi Hu's offensive was so fierce, no matter how many times, Quan Yao was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, the battle on the side of Qian County was remarkable, so that Shi Hu had to temporarily abandon Yingchuan City.
When he received the news of Shi Hu's retreat, Quan Yao's first thought was not to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, but to strengthen the city defenses in various places to prevent Shi Hu from making a comeback.
From this point, you can see the gap between Quan Yao and others.
When there was no brother Quan Yan by his side, Quan Yao's courage was inevitably a little smaller.
Only seek no fault, not merit.

When Shi Hu led the army to march all the way to the vicinity of Qiao County, he received a battle report that the people in Qiao County rebelled, opened the city gate privately, and let Yao Yu's army enter the city.
Lu Ming couldn't resist under the hard battle, so he could only lead thousands of remnants to kill Qiao County. Surrendered the county to Yao Yu.
Shi Hu learned the news, and under the leadership of the spies, he found Lu Ming, who was resting and recuperating in a remote village.
When the two met, Lu Ming hung his arms, there was no good meat on his body, and when he looked at his face, the tired dark circles under his eyes were revealed.
It looks like he's going to die at any time.
When a normal commander sees Lu Ming's appearance, he will feel distressed and appeased, no matter what he says, if people fight for you, they are not as good as others. You can't chill the hearts of the soldiers.
But Shi Hu was not, he pointed at Lu Ming's nose with a horsewhip and scolded: "How did my uncle explain to you before leaving." Now that the county has been lost, the soldiers and horses from all over Puyang have been thrown to the county again, with an army of 50,000. How many are left now? โ
Lu Ming was ashamed, but he didn't have any words to refute Shi Hu, and finally could only kneel down: "The young general and the army forgive the sin, and the young general and the army forgive the sin." The last general was incompetent, so Yao Yu got his hands on it. Please give the last general a chance, and the last general will definitely recapture the county. โ
Shi Hu scolded: "Take it back? How do you take it back? Let me ask you, did you burn the money and grain stored in Qiao County before you escaped? โ
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment: "No, no." โ
It's not nothing, the situation was urgent at that time, and it would be good for Lu Ming to run out.
As a result, the 100,000 stone grain stored in Qian County fell into the hands of Yao Yu.
This made the food and grass stretched, and Yao Yu's army, which could not even hold on to the rear, was replenished by Suo Hong.
Not to mention that the 40,000 Northern Expeditionary Army can fill their stomachs, they can also take out excess relief to the people.
When he learned that Lu Ming did not destroy the money and grain, Shi Hu was angry.
He stared at Lu Ming, and his eyes wanted to stab Lu Ming's thoughts for self-evident.
The latter was terrified and uneasy, swallowing saliva into his stomach with an embarrassed expression.
In the end, Shi Hu's hand on the handle of the knife rubbed for a while before putting it down, gritting his teeth, and squeezing out the words from his throat: "I'll transfer you five thousand soldiers and horses, and take a place for me to settle down in Qian County, there's no problem, right?" โ
Lu Ming nodded again and again: "No problem, no problem, this time I will definitely not disappoint the young general again." โ
After that, Lu Ming continued to verbally thank Shi Hu for his great kindness.
After Lu Ming led the troops, Shi Hu angrily beheaded two attendants in a row, so frightened that the surrounding pro-soldiers trembled and did not dare to say more.
Looking around, Shi Hu, who was slightly deflated, conveyed the order: "Pass my order, transfer Wang Yang to lead the army westward, give up the attack on Daxian Mountain, for the sake of today's plan, first grab back the county." โ
The guards breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to deliver the order.
There's no way, stay by Shi Hu's side, who knows when he will find a reason to kill you.

When Yao Yu led the army into Qiao County, and the material and logistics were replenished, the previous worries were swept away.
To be honest, Yao Yu took a lot of risks when he sent troops this time.
The food in the army alone gave him a headache.
The battlefields of Xuzhou and Yingchuan are good to say, they are all local battles, and the consumption of grain and grass is not so exaggerated.
However, the two groups of Northern Expeditionary Army that attacked Qian County were fighting under great logistical pressure.
Among them, if there is a battle that is unfavorable or is in a stalemate and confrontation stage, the Northern Expedition will end in failure.
No matter how big the advantage is in the early stage, after returning to the dynasty, the prestige will suffer a huge loss.
Not to mention anything else, in history, the former Yan of Huanwen's Northern Expedition had a huge advantage in the early stage, and fought all the way to Fangtou, but as a result, he was defeated by Murong Chui, the god of war of the former Yan, in this place, and the great cause of the Northern Expedition was a failure.
Not to mention that Huan Wen's prestige was hit, and the idea of being crowned a prince and a king was also in vain.
Yao Yu didn't want to be like Huan Wen in history, and it was because of this that he personally went down and worked on the Northern Expedition to Qian County.
Fortunately, there was no danger in the process, and he fought hard to win the county before the grain and grass were exhausted.
This is also Yao Yu gambling, gambling with the lives of the whole army. If I don't keep the food to go back, I'll bet you'll be fooled.
The result can be imagined, Yao Yu won the bet, so he is now sitting in Qiao County. Eating the 100,000 stone grain left by Lu Ming, he strictly patrolled the border of Qian County to guard against Shi Hu's counterattack.
"Da Sima, the latest battle report, Lu Ming, the general of the defeated army, was ordered by Shi Hu to take five thousand people and kill them again."
Yao Yu, who was discussing the military plane with his ancestor Yao Xin Quanyan, heard this, oh, and looked at Wang Xuance, who ran in with excitement: "Is this true?" โ
Wang Xuance nodded vigorously: "It's true, Da Sima." โ
Yao Yu smiled: "It's just right to come, I heard that Shi Hu is impulsive and irritable." Why don't we provoke this guy a little more? Xuan Ce. โ
Wang Xuance took a step forward: "Here, my lord." โ
"Are you sure you can defeat Lu Ming?"
"That must be, this kind of brave and unscrupulous person, it is not easy to defeat him."
Yao Yu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Don't brag, you have the same strategy, you are a reckless man." โ
When Wang Xuance heard this, he laughed awkwardly twice.
